Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012 by Ormonde Jayne and crafted by Geza Schoen, Qi is a Floral Green fragrance that embodies the essence of freshness and vitality. The scent opens with lemon blossom and freesia, creating an immediate sense of brightness and clarity. This green, citrusy top notes give way to a heart of neroli and osmanthus, bringing a delicate floral warmth. As it settles into its base, Qi reveals musk and benzoin, grounding the composition in earthy, sensual tones.
Apply Qi in light layers to allow its vibrant top notes to shine before transitioning into the heart and base. It’s best enjoyed during cooler hours, as the green and citrus elements can feel too bright under intense summer sun.
